Watch a Hedda Gabler Scene Online!

How far would you go to ESCAPE?

A contemporary woman trapped in conventional times relieves her intense boredom by constructing a dangerous game of wreaking disaster on the lives of others. As Hedda resists the predictable world she has chosen, she unleashes a sequence of unfortunate events that brings her story to a shocking conclusion.

Michael Menendian's electrifying interpretation brings Hedda Gabler from the script to the stage with roaring tenacity and proves that the life of Hedda Gabler is still relevant to audiences today.

Now extended through July 25, 2009:
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m.
